Suddenly, I cant enter to this websites

[Kublai-Khan]

www.apolyton.com
www.menstennisforums.com
www.smashingpumpkins.com.ar

Those are three websites that I visit/lurk very often, but suddenly since last wednesday I cant enter.
I write www.menstennisforums.com in the internet explorer, I push enter but the site never finishes to load.

I used the computer in the house of a friend and the three websites are working well, so the problem must be in my computer.
Those are the only sites I am having problems with, I dont have a problem with Civfanatics or Hole.com or other message boards I visit/lurk.

According to norton my computer is not infected by a virus, I remember that a year ago I had a similar problem and a friend solved it by writing regedit and then erasing some things.

I have a 64 kb cable connection

Do any of you know what may be happening to my computer?

did you add any programs or change anything about that time?
I'd suggest lowering/checking your security level and also any settings related to allowing cookies.

My niece and brother were messing with my computer last week installing and downloading games like crazy.

Ive already lowered my security level, how can I check the settings related to allowing cookies?, i dont know how to do it.

(assuming you're using Internet Explorer)
there's a cookie option in internet options -> privacy -> advanced
i think there is something in the internet options -> advanced bit too, but couldn't find it.

cookies might not be your problem, but i have had that problem before.
are all those sites forum pages?

Ii think I dont have that option in my computer (windownds98).

Yeah, they are all message board pages.

gah! 98!
that instruction was for internet explorer though, which should be platform independant.... so you should still be able to do it (in internet explorer)

Unless you have an old version of IE...

If so, maybe you should try downloading an upgrade to IE6 or maybe even ocnsider another browser... *cough* Opera *cough*
